Paramount Pictures

1914

The Paramount Pictures name first materialized in 1913, during the company's early years as a distribution company. Paramount would become a wholly owned division of Famous Players Film Company at around 1916.

1914–1917

During this period, Paramount's logo consisted of a drawing of a mountain peak placed inside a circular field of stars with the company name in a script font, a design which has since been passed onto all of the company's subsequent logo designs.

1917–1967

This logo is based on a design by William Wadsworth Hodkinson.

1967–present

In 1967, Paramount modified the logo by removing the clouds at the bottom of the mountain, and then updated the text to drop the word "Pictures". Two of the stars were dropped.
